Runners API

DETAILS: Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated

This page describes endpoints for runners registered to an instance. To create a runner linked to the current user, see Create a runner.

Pagination is available on the following API endpoints (they return 20 items by default):

GET /runners
GET /runners/all
GET /runners/:id/jobs
GET /projects/:id/runners
GET /groups/:id/runners

Registration and authentication tokens

There are two tokens to take into account when connecting a runner with GitLab.

Token	Description
Registration token	Token used to register the runner. It can be obtained through GitLab.
Authentication token	Token used to authenticate the runner with the GitLab instance. The token is obtained automatically when you register a runner or by the Runners API when you manually register a runner or reset the authentication token. You can also obtain the token by using the `POST /user/runners` endpoint.

Here's an example of how the two tokens are used in runner registration:

You register the runner via the GitLab API using a registration token, and an authentication token is returned.
You use that authentication token and add it to the runner's configuration file:
```
[[runners]]
  token = "<authentication_token>"
```

GitLab and the runner are then connected.

List owned runners

Get a list of runners available to the user.

Prerequisites:

You must be an administrator of or have the Owner role for the target namespace or project.
For instance_type, you must be an administrator of the GitLab instance.

GET /runners

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`scope`	string	no	Deprecated: Use `type` or `status` instead. The scope of runners to return, one of: `active`, `paused`, `online` and `offline`; showing all runners if none provided
`type`	string	no	The type of runners to return, one of: `instance_type`, `group_type`, `project_type`
`status`	string	no	The status of runners to return, one of: `online`, `offline`, `stale`, or `never_contacted`. Other possible values are the deprecated `active` and `paused`. Requesting `offline` runners might also return `stale` runners because `stale` is included in `offline`.
`paused`	boolean	no	Whether to include only runners that are accepting or ignoring new jobs
`tag_list`	string array	no	A list of runner tags
`version_prefix`	string	no	The prefix of the version of the runners to return. For example, `15.0`, `14`, `16.1.241`

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/runners"

NOTE: The active and paused values in the status query parameter were deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the REST API. They are replaced by the paused query parameter.

NOTE: The active attribute in the response was deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the REST API. It is replaced by the paused attribute.

NOTE: The ip_address attribute in the response was deprecated in GitLab 16.1 and will be removed in a future version of the REST API. This attribute will start returning an empty string in GitLab 17.0. The ipAddress attribute can be found inside the respective runner manager, currently only available through the GraphQL CiRunnerManager type.

## Disable a runner from project

Disable a project runner from the project. It works only if the project isn't
the only project associated with the specified runner. If so, an error is
returned. Use the call to [delete a runner](#delete-a-runner) instead.

Prerequisites:

- For `instance_type`, you must be an administrator of the GitLab instance.
- For `group_type`, you must have the Owner role for the target namespace.
- For `project_type`, you must have at least the Maintainer role for the target project.

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/runners"
```7

| Attribute   | Type    | Required | Description         |
|-------------|---------|----------|---------------------|
| `id`        | integer/string | yes      | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](rest/index.md#namespaced-paths) |
| `runner_id` | integer | yes      | The ID of a runner  |

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/runners"
```8

## List group's runners

List all runners available in the group as well as its ancestor groups, including [any allowed instance runners](../ci/runners/runners_scope.md#enable-instance-runners-for-a-group).

Prerequisites:

- You must be an administrator or have the Maintainer role for the target namespace.

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/runners"

NOTE:
The `active` and `paused` values in the `status` query parameter were deprecated
and will be removed in [a future version of the REST API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/351109). They are replaced by the `paused` query parameter.

NOTE:
The `active` attribute in the response was deprecated
and will be removed in [a future version of the REST API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/351109). It is replaced by the `paused` attribute.

NOTE:
The `ip_address` attribute in the response was deprecated
[in GitLab 16.1](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/415159) and will be removed in
[a future version of the REST API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/351109).
This attribute will start returning an empty string in GitLab 17.0.
The `ipAddress` attribute can be found inside the respective runner manager, currently only available through the GraphQL
[`CiRunnerManager` type](graphql/reference/index.md#cirunnermanager).

## Create a runner

WARNING:
This endpoint returns an `HTTP 410 Gone` status code if registration with runner registration tokens
is disabled in the project or group settings. If registration with runner registration tokens
is disabled, use the [`POST /user/runners`](users.md#create-a-runner-linked-to-a-user) endpoint
to create and register runners instead.

Create a runner with a runner registration token.

## Delete a runner

There are two ways to delete a runner:

- By specifying the runner ID.
- By specifying the runner's authentication token.

### Delete a runner by ID

To delete the runner by ID, use your access token with the runner's ID:

Prerequisites:

- For `instance_type`, you must be an administrator of the GitLab instance.
- For `group_type`, you must have the Owner role for the target namespace.
- For `project_type`, you must have at least the Maintainer role for the target project.
- An access token with the `manage_runner` scope and the appropriate role.

```json
[
    {
        "active": true,
        "paused": false,
        "description": "test-1-20150125",
        "id": 6,
        "ip_address": "",
        "is_shared": false,
        "runner_type": "project_type",
        "name": null,
        "online": true,
        "status": "online"
    },
    {
        "active": true,
        "paused": false,
        "description": "test-2-20150125",
        "id": 8,

        "name": null,
        "online": false,
        "status": "offline"
    }
]

| Attribute   | Type    | Required | Description         |
|-------------|---------|----------|---------------------|
| `id`        | integer | yes      | The ID of a runner. The ID is visible in the UI under **Settings > CI/CD**. Expand **Runners**, and below the **Remove Runner** button is an ID preceded by the pound sign, for example, `#6`. |

### Delete a runner by authentication token

To delete the runner by using its authentication token:

Prerequisites:

- You must be an administrator of or have the Owner role for the target namespace or project.
- For `instance_type`, you must be an administrator of the GitLab instance.
